Whisper of the Heart (Mimi wo sumaseba) (If You Listen Closely) (1995)
Shizuku lives a simple life, dominated by her love for stories and writing. One day she notices that all the library books she has have been previously checked out by the same person: 'Seiji Amasawa'. Curious as to who he is, Shizuku meets a boy her age whom she finds infuriating, but discovers to her shock that he is her 'Prince of Books'. As she grows closer to him, she realises that he merely read all those books to bring himself closer to her. The boy Seiji aspires to be a violin maker in Italy, and it is his dreams that make Shizuku realise that she has no clear path for her life. Knowing that her strength lies in writing, she tests her talents by writing a story about Baron, a cat statuette belonging to Seiji's grandfather

This is an awesome movie !!!
BTW if you've seen the cat returns that cat is Baron!
An eighth-grade girl named Shizuku is a total bookworm with no real plans for her life. But lately, when she looks at the check out cards in the books she borrows, the same name is written on all of them! Who is this mysterious boy who's been checking out all the same books as her? And who's the annoying boy who's been teasing her lately, and what does he want? Also, what happens when you follow a cat in the middle of the city? Enjoy a story of somewhat comical romance between two junior high students, and watch as Shizuku discovers the talent that sparkles inside her.... as one surely does in you. Listen to the whispers of your own heart.
